wiki: add Archive Mode page; drop xdelta3; refresh CLI ref + features Updates to reflect the 2026-04 archive-mode landing and the 2026-05 xdelta3 removal. Page-level changes: * New: Archive-Mode.md — full reference for the Steam archive-mode pipeline: login, project file (.xarchive), single-pass and polling downloads, max-retries / restart-delay semantics, SessionDead recovery + outage alert path, crack pipeline, MultiUp + PrivateBin upload, BBCode template editor with forum-rendered preview toggle, Telegram + Discord notifications, archive depot historical-build pulls, GUI overview. * Sidebar: add Archive-Mode entry between Repack-Mode and Engines-and-Presets. * Home: list all three modes; mention archive workflow in quick-start. * Installation: drop xdelta3 from prebuilt binaries list; document the optional 'archive' extra. * Features: split into Update Patch / Repack / Archive / Shared sections. Archive section enumerates polling + outage recovery + upload + BBCode + notify + historical-pull surface. Drop xdelta3 from the engine count. * CLI-Reference: drop xdelta3 from --engine choices; add 'archive' subcommand summary that links to Archive-Mode for the full flag set. * Engines-and-Presets: drop xdelta3 section + table; rewrite engine recommendation matrix. Note that bzip2 presets need the FULL hdiffpatch stub (auto-selected by exe_packager). * Output-Formats: PFMD container is now JojoDiff-only; HDiffPatch uses its native upstream container. * Stub-System: drop xdelta3 stub variants from the prebuilt list and the make-target list. Update directory tree to reflect the src/core/archive/ subtree, the GUI archive_*.py modules, and path_safe.h.

Document PFMD container in Output-Formats The Update Patch "patch data" block had no spec at all; readers seeing the page couldn't tell that xdelta3 / JojoDiff dir-mode diffs are wrapped in a PFMD container while HDiffPatch passes its upstream native format through unchanged. Add a "Patch data" subsection that explains the engine-by-engine choice, and a full PFMD wire-format spec covering the version byte, entry layout, and the uint64 data_len from version 2 (the 2026-04-25 security-review change). Cross-references the writer (src/core/engines/dir_format.py) and the C parser (stub/dir_patch_format.h), and notes that path validation is done by every callback consuming a PFMD record per S-C1.
